Shimmering facial colors can contain a flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and clog pores.

Use a lip gloss with a matte finish for less pore-clogging.

The more the shine, the more then comedogenic content and the more your pores can clog.

3. Healthy Diet – Helps To Conquer Acne

Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne.

However, what is best for your body is best for your skin.

So make sure you get enough vitamins, minerals and supplements that have been known and recommended to prevent and help conquer acne breakouts.

These include:

Vitamin A or Retinol (High doses are toxic)

Vitamin B Complex)

Vitamin C )

Vitamin E)

L-Carnitine

Zinc

A good quality brand name multivitamin will probably have the recommended vitamins and minerals that you need to help with acne prevention.

Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day and making good, healthy dietary food choices.

3. Hormonal Treatment -Helps To Conquer Acne

Hormones (or a lack of them) during later years – especially for women – can play a role in acne flare-ups and prevention.

One recent study showed that about 50 percent of women have acne, referred to as hormonal acne, problems during the week before their menstruation.

Treatment options include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide for teen years.

For adults oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) may be helpful for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications.

4. Healthy Skin Regimen – Helps To Conquer Acne

Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what’s washed off, clogging pores in the process.

Use products with gentle exfoliation ingredients and skip products that contain alcohol.

5. Acne Products – Helps To Conquer Ancne

Some of the more popular products on the market that can prevent acne include:

Benzoyl Peroxide

Proactiv® Solution

Salicylic Acid

Retinoids

Antibiotics

Oral Contraceptives

Anti-Androgens

Isotretinoin (Accutane)

Nevertheless, you have to be careful in buying products to conquer acne.

6. Shaving – Helps To Conquer Acne

Shaving is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and to conquer acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores.

And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads from the face.

Do not shave areas that are sore or infected.

Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin.

Shave with a sharp blade. Use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure and go with the flow or “grain.”

A single-edged blade is better than a twin-blade razor.

Electric razors may not shave as close to the skin, but they help with the prevention of acne and other skin breakouts and flare-ups better.

7. Internal Stressors – Helps To Conquer Acne

Stress includes external and internal stressors.

External Stressors are those that compromise your skin’s ability to heal, like oily make-up and too much sun.

Internal stressors like anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, depression and a variety of other internalized emotions, can trigger chemical reactions inside your body that can result in acne flare-ups and other skin irritations.

To combat internal stressors and conquer acne problems, get plenty of rest and sleep, try to maintain regular hours.

Conclusion

Keep a check list of “Things that Calm You” handy for stressful times, like reading a book, resting, listening to music, taking a walk, going out for an ice cream cone, etc.
